What are you seeding? Do you want to start plants from seeds?

  Yes.. I have Beautiful Lime tree that everyone in my Family would like to have one of.. so I would like to start a little project where I can hopefully grow some trees out of some seeds and give them as gifts to my family😊. Did you think you can share some of your knowledge?

  It can take a number of years before they produce fruit so patience is the key. I just save seeds from good juicy fruit. Then, just soak the seeds for a couple days then plant in good potting soil. I buy mine from a local nursery. They sell citrus mix at any home improvement store. Keep damp, but not drowned and place in the sun. That is all I do. I have no time to fuss. Just plant more seeds than you need. Then repot as necessary as the tree grows. They will do well in large pots or in ground. This one has not yet been fertilized. It will this year, though. Too much fertilizer too early can burn there developing tender roots. (I live down the road from citrus orchards.) They told me no fertilizer is better than too much or incorrectly applied fertilizer. You can do this! 🍋⬅pretend this is a lime!
